It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.

I believe I went through a divorce. My relationship with Ellen is no less significant as a marriage than my relationship to Coley.

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.

When you are coming out, you say it's for you. But when everybody says it's not OK, it becomes about that rather than about you. It disappointed me.

When I was with Ellen, I was telling people, If you come out, it's gonna be better for you. But I honestly don't know that.

Are people angry with me? Sure, anything you do in your life, people are going to be angry at you.

I searched so hard for a part that was so complex.

I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.

For me to stay healthy in a relationship, the individuals have to nurture themselves.

I was a bit of a big mouth my whole life. I'm a person who expresses themselves with a lot of openness.

To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.

We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.

Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.

The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.

It's my job, to create a fantasy.

I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.

I do not believe that I fell in love with a woman because I was abused.

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father, and she hung up the phone on me.

He never admitted anything, even on his deathbed. He was a deluded liar. If it weren't for my father, I don't think I would be so open. So that's a huge blessing.

I put myself on the line with my truth and my sexuality. That is my choice. My choice.

I was raised to pretend.

It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.

I'm very grateful for the platform that I've had in my life to speak out about the things I care about.

I don't belong to the straights now - they didn't get me back.

I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.

I don't think a reporter should give advice or make predictions.

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.

No enemy is worse than bad advice.

I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.

Listen kid, take my advice, never hate a song that has sold half a million copies.

My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!

There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.

All of our affairs, since the union of crowns, have been managed by the advice of English ministers, and the principal offices of the kingdom filled with such men, as the court of England knew would be subservient to their designs.

To offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know what to do or that he can't do it on his own.

But I try not to become preoccupied with that because with whatever direction I follow, with whatever advice I've followed or not followed, It's landed me in New York, in a very beautiful hotel, talking to people about something that I love. So I ain't that far off.

If it's free, it's advice; if you pay for it, it's counseling; if you can use either one, it's a miracle.

Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is really advice to myself, a reminder to myself not to avoid change or uncertainty, but to go with it, to surf into change.

I never take advice from anyone more messed up than I am.

Never give advice in a crowd.
